Gel Sculpt - Silhouette

I'm very fickle when it comes to make up but this is the one product I buy again and again - I use it every day without fail. My skin is a very light olive and I find the colour of this works well to contour without making me look sallow like some more bronze based products do. I don't wear foundation so I wear this over bare skin, applied directly and blended with my fingers - it's super quick and easy and looks really natural. The few times I have worn it with heavier make up I found it was easy to build for a more dramatic look.

This is good for contouring the jaw line and nose but for the cheeks I feel it’s too wet. For a jaw shadow it’s perfect unlike other contouring products that can look you’ve over bronzed, the colour achieves an actual shadow effect. You only need a small amount and a light blend. As it is wet overblending (I found) removes the gel. 

It feels refreshing on skin, and is best under foundation, because it gives a very natural effect. If you need a darker shade, you just have to pass it twice. It blends perfectly. A must have.

I was so hesitant to buy this because I am a NC44 and was lucky when it came in a gift with purchase. It works for my skin tone and is the best contour I've used. It's a gel, feels cooling, and has good staying power. If I want it more intense I add a powder over it. Definitely would repurchase! #love

By far the best contour product I’ve purchased. Do not let the colour put you off, I am very fair skinned and the colour glides beautifully on and gives the perfect cheek shadow colour to give the desired effect of contouring. I always used to apply contour with a brush and I felt I’d always get the contour line slightly in the wrong place, having it in a stick makes it easier to control and impossible to get wrong. Hugely recommend. 

There is truly not another product on the market like this one. The dark shade looks daunting, but once you apply it the gel gets lighter in colour and works perfectly on my super fair skin. Such a natural contour, but you can build it up to your desired effect. I love that this does not leave my face looking powdery, because I have a lot of texture from acne as well as the scars of the ghost of acne past. You need to try this ASAP.

Smells so lovely and easy to apply just removes a bit of the foundation

Don't let the darkness of this put you off, it looks dark in the stick but when applied it's so gorgeous, even blends seamlessly on the palest skin tone!

For me the whole contour thing is a mystery, actually to be honest make up all together for me is very minimal when I’m applying it. I started using illamasqua products and I absolutely love them! Couldn’t fault them. This time I decided to go for the sculpt, see if I could give my face he contour look. I watched a couple you tube videos on how to apply it (it really helped) and now I contour everyday. The gel sculpt is so light it goes over my foundation so easily (skin base) and works wonderful with the loose powder! I am absolutely in love.. highly recommend! 

I have VERY pale Olive skin and was a little worried when I saw how dark it was but it can be a subtle or as bold as you need it, and very transferable across different tones
